Chapter 54 – 54. Bug Removal Work (2)

There were only two people left on the rooftop of Dongyeong High School.

He was a subordinate of Won Min-sik who drank and became drunk out of devastation, and Won Min-sik believed in him until the end.

“Mi, Minsik bro!!”

“What. Why..”

“Oh, it’s coming up!!”

“Who are you..”

“Wonhyo Kim! That bastard is dragging all the kids up!!”

“What? Is it real? Ha.. Fuck.. Fucked.. What time is it now..”

“It’s 11 o’clock now..!”

“Haa…Shiibaal!!! Ah-oh!! Start. Fuck, fuck, fuck.. Why don’t the guys I sent come and those bastards come up.. Why..”

“What should we do now..”

“Oh, I don’t know! Shit.. Shit.. I sent 40 people, but they’re all looking and damn.. Fuck. Ah..”

All but two of the forty people who had hoped to return were dead, and the unwanted rebels were moving upward. As a result, Won Min-sik went wild, kicked the table and kerosene stove on the rooftop, and started to throw a tantrum.

‘That damn bastard… I’m a bastard for trusting that bastard..’

Lee Jin-soo made the worst choice of trusting Won Min-sik until the end, but as he looked at Won Min-sik, who was half drunk and causing a ruckus, he was caught up in an internal conflict about whether to betray him or not.

However, in the end, Jinsu Lee could not take any action. Won Min-sik had several items, and Lee Jin-soo did not have combat skills.

Jinsu Lee’s ability is to detect presence. It was a skill that could detect the movements of a nearby being. I couldn’t hit Won Min-sik’s back with this one skill.

No matter how drunk he was, there was no way he could beat Won Min-sik, who had been killing people for several days. Therefore, Jinsu Lee decided to look for more opportunities.

“Haa.. Fuck.. Fuck.. Start… “

Meanwhile, Won Min-sik, who was whining and blocking the rooftop door, hit his head and grabbed his hair to sober him up.

“Haa.. How can 40 people search for all 40 people? Is that possible? Fuck.. That’s ridiculous..”

No matter how much I thought about it, things were so messed up. He was just trying to keep other awakened groups in check, but things got too complicated. He never expected that all 40 people would be eaten.

At that time, the rooftop entrance, which had been blocked for a while, was shaking.

-Bang! Bang! Bang!!

-Hey!! Won Min-sik, you fucking bastard!! Open the door!!!

-I won’t kill you. Open the door!!

The gangsters started knocking on the rooftop door. Won Min-sik blocked the entrance to the rooftop with various objects, but he already knew that it would soon be breached.

‘Damn.. Should I jump off the railing… ? No.. And if you fall behind.. It would be better for those bastards to catch you… But they won’t kill me because they know my abilities..’

However, it will make it worse than death. Knowing that fact, he hurriedly checked the items he had.

If you sacrifice 10 non-awakened people, you will receive a reward box, and if you sacrifice 5 people, your stats will be increased by three. Won Min-sik has obtained a total of 5 green reward boxes so far. Also, I had gained a total of 12 additional stats.

‘Okay.. If you do well.. You can catch all those bastards and get out of here..’

He thought maybe it would be worth a try. Confidence radiated from the alcohol.

‘First of all, there are only three items that are directly helpful in battle.’

[Gravekeeper’s Diamond Shovel: It’s very hard. If you swing at a humanoid enemy, you can push the opponent back even more.] [Durability 491/500]

[Gauntlets of Freezing: Freezes the target on contact. Further increases the power of ice attribute skills.] [Durability 11/15]

[Dark Moon Ring: If you feed 10 lowest grade magic stones, your physical abilities will be doubled in dark places for 30 minutes and you will gain night vision.] [Durability 10/12]

“Ha…There are no magic stones…”

He put on his gauntlets and gripped his golden shovel tightly. Then, frost began to form on the gold shovel, and everything it touched became so cold that it froze. It was an enchantment through a gauntlet. Durability will wear out quickly, but you can now freeze and shatter the opponent’s body parts. It was a perfect fit for the highly durable Geumgang shovel.

“Hey. “Jinsu.”

“Yes..?”

“Open the door. “Wipe it all away.”

“Oh, no… Are you crazy? “What are you going to do now?”

“Shut up and open it. Those bastards… We need to make them pay for their rebellion… We’ll clearly show who has the upper hand…”

Won Min-sik still thought that today would be similar to the first day of disaster. However, that was his own illusion. In just a few days, the scoundrels, like Won Min-sik, had already changed beyond their control.

Anyway, it was the time when Won Min-sik showed his courage by catching Gao even though it was not a life-or-death situation.

-OMG!! Fuck!! Why is that guy acting like that all of a sudden!!!!

-Kyaaa!!!! Paaaaal!!!!

-Oh, don’t come!!! Ugh!!!!

Beyond the rooftop door, the screams of the gangsters were heard one after another, followed by the sound of bones and flesh being separated and something being crushed and falling out.

At this moment, Won Min-sik and Lee Jin-su had no choice but to forget about breathing and focus on the sounds coming from outside.

“W-what the fuck..? Jinsu.. How did this happen..?”

“Uh.. That.. Popularity is disappearing.. At a very fast rate.. Uh..”

“Why?”

“There’s only one person left… There’s only one person outside the door… “

“What…?”

The two swallowed their saliva. Won Min-sik immediately took out his gun. Although there were only two shots, he thought that if there was only one opponent, even if he missed by one shot, he would be able to hit the target.

-Brother Minsik! This is Sangmin. I’m here to save you.

However, the unfamiliar voice of Choi Sang-min was heard outside the door.

“W-what? Sangmin? Why are you.. First of all.. I’m glad..”

Although Won Min-sik was not that close to Choi Sang-min, he still breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he had come to save him. Since Lee Jin-soo informed me that there was only one person left, I was able to believe that Choi Sang-min handled everything by himself.

‘Why is this bastard Choi Sang-min helping me..? Is it because you saved me on the first day? No, but this bastard must have been incompetent to begin with… When did he awaken… I don’t understand why he’s strong enough to catch all 70 people… Did he secretly go into the labyrinth and come out. ..?’

Although it was suspicious in many ways, Won Min-sik decided to open the rooftop door. No matter what, he is a guy who did not betray his loyalty for his own sake and came to save him.

“Now, wait a minute..! “Can you really open it..?”

“Why. Are you afraid that someone more helpful than you will come and be abandoned?”

“Oh, no… That’s not it. Choi Sang-min is not the kind of guy who suddenly acts like this… And Jig killed nearly 70 people all by himself…? Isn’t it strange? There is something..”

“There is something there. I guess they saved me because of my abilities. They want to monopolize it… And when it comes to strength, if you have good abilities, you can beat up ordinary people to death. He’s an awakened person, but there are only about ten of them, so it’s scary. Get out of the way, you idiot! If you don’t open it, I will.”

“No. That’s true, but… Ah…”

In the end, Won Min-sik removed the junk that was blocking the rooftop door and opened the entrance.

“Minsik hyung!”

“Sangmin! “I’m here to save you!!”

When I opened the door, a large second-year student was standing there, covered in blood, holding a machete.

Behind him was filled with the bodies of dead gangsters. Won Min-sik whetted his appetite by looking at the dead people. He thought that if he had killed it with his own hands, he could have made an offering, but it was a waste.

“Yes, you worked hard! “Thanks to you, I am alive!”

Haha. What. I am more grateful. “For stupidly opening the door.”

“Huh?”

-Sigh.

-Puhwaaaaah!!!

Won Min-sik’s head, which was making a stupid expression, was instantly cut off by the machete, spinning in the air and falling off the rooftop railing.

-Boom!

Won Min-sik’s body, losing his head, fell to the floor of the rooftop. Blood spurted out like crazy from the cut cross section of his neck.

“Uh…”

“Hello, friend.”

“Go away… Go away!!!!”

Kang In-ho grabbed the back of Jin-su Lee’s head as he tried to run away while shouting, and drove the machete into his back. I thought it was good because the blade didn’t get damaged no matter how much I swung it thanks to the maintenance of quality.

In addition to the original effect of the zombie slayer’s machete, the effect of reinforcing the blade was added to the point where a person could be cut down by simply holding a knife.

-Wooow!!!

“Have you had fun so far? “You bastards.”

“Turn off…!!”

Jinsu Lee died with blood pouring out of his mouth. Kang In-ho roughly threw the dead Jin-su Lee to the floor and then sat down.

I moved my body too hard and it felt like my joints would break and my muscles would burst.

“Haa…Fuck…It hurts so much…”

Kang In-ho healed the minor wounds on her arms, chest, and face.

“Ugh… Fuck… I… How many people have I killed today… Damn… The blood won’t go away… I’m going to go to hell… I’ m the worst piece of trash…”

[Sanity level: 69/100]

[Sanity level: 57/100]

[Sanity level: 43/100]

Kang In-ho’s rationality level gradually decreased due to depression and frustration, which are the penalties of trauma healing.

Then, when his rationality level he dropped to the 40s, he shed tears, regretted his actions, and was so consumed with guilt that he even thought about dying.

“Ah-oh. Fuck.. This penalty sucks too…”

Then, when I finished healing, my mental strength recovered in an instant. This time, it was thanks to the skill called Sanity Recovery. Currently, he had 12 skills whose effects had not yet been confirmed.

As a result, complex reactions occurred in the body, making it quite difficult to handle. I needed to quickly share some skills with my colleagues to ease the burden.

“Haa… First… Let’s take a break… I think I’m going to get behind… I’m hungry… Damn…”

Kang In-ho cleared his head as much as possible and caught his breath. As he was doing that, he started to feel sleepy.

“I don’t have to worry if I go quickly…”

Although he was exhausted and wanted to sleep, Kang In-ho felt that he had to take care of things first, so he carefully packed the things that Won Min-sik had picked up into the backpack he had picked up from the classroom. Everything in his hand, including the pistol and ring.

Then, when he realized that Won Min-sik’s ability was to offer up the body, he quickly confirmed his ability.

[Spiritual and physical transactions (S)]

[Effect: Receive appropriate compensation by offering the spirit and body of the intelligence you directly killed.]

[Handicap: Does not include targets killed by ranged weapons or projectiles.]

[Penalty: If you do not trade more than three times a month, your skill will be deleted.]

“Huh.. Shiva..”

Kang In-ho checked the bodies of the dead gangsters on the rooftop stairs. There must have been close to 70 people hunting today alone.

“I ask for a deal.”

Kang In-ho uttered a word that he naturally came to mind. Soon, a contract made of human skin appeared before his eyes.

It was a very ominous-looking, bloody contract.

“Fuck..”

Kang In-ho looked at the contract, worried that there might be a hidden penalty.

[55 spiritual and physical bodies of an ordinary human, 15 spiritual and physical bodies of an extraordinary human… Would you like to trade for 5 green reward boxes, 3 blue reward boxes, and 3 stat points?]

“Look, how many reward boxes are there.. Wow.. Fuck.. Wow… Blue reward boxes..?”

Kang In-ho agreed to the deal. Then, the corpses of the dead gangsters in the school building shrunk all at once and turned into mummies with all their blood drained out.

“Ugh…”

Kang In-ho was embarrassed. The corpses are shriveling. It even turned into a handful of ash and disappeared in the wind. In the end, only blood stains remained where the bodies were.

“Wow…”

A total of eight reward boxes appeared in front of Kang In-ho. Additionally, even though the survival grade did not increase, the stats increased by three. He put all his stats into stamina and strength and then crumpled the reward boxes into his bag.

“Eat well and go, you bastards.”

Kang In-ho quickly went down from the rooftop. Now all I have to do is take care of Lee Hee-jung, release the women in the auditorium, and leave.

He never thought about killing the women locked in the auditorium and turning them into reward boxes. Even though he was a murderer who had already killed over a hundred people, it seemed difficult for him to get away with killing nearly thirty innocent women.

It was a different problem from killing the gangsters. Kang In-ho’s personal morality and mental power have limits. Even though their lives were the same, Kang In-ho considered the lives of the victims to be more valuable than the lives of the bullies. No matter what anyone said, he felt more comfortable not killing the women locked in the auditorium.

This is because it seemed that humanity would be too worn out if only efficiency was pursued.
